''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer: Chaos Bleeds'' is a 2003 video game developed by Eurocom and published by Creator/VivendiUniversalGames for the UsefulNotes/PlayStation2, UsefulNotes/NintendoGameCube, and UsefulNotes/{{Xbox}}. It's technically not a sequel as such to [[VideoGame/BuffyTheVampireSlayer2002 the first game]], but it plays the same. Set during the fifth season, the player is tasked with fighting as [[TheHero Buffy,]] [[TheLancer Xander,]] [[CuteWitch Willow,]] [[TokenEvilTeammate Spike]], [[DarkActionGirl Faith]] and [[ForcedTransformation Sid the Dummy]] through Sunnydale and beyond.

* ADateWithRosiePalms: Finding items will yield several different comments from each character. Faith is kind enough to share what she does with stakes when not out slaying.

* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: You get to fight zombie penguins.

* OurZombiesAreDifferent: The standard desiccated [[ZombieGait shamblers]] that act as cannon fodder and [[KillItWithFire go up like kindling if they're lit on fire]] are the most common variety, while zombie [[KillerGorilla gorillas]] and [[EverythingsBetterWithPenguins penguins]] are exclusive to the zoo level.

When the vampire Kakistos, last seen after Faith dusted him, seems to be BackFromTheDead the Scoobies go to investigate. It turns out that Ethan Rayne has made a deal with The First Evil, where the Scoobies are transported to an AlternateDimension to fight The First's champions. If he wins, Ethan will be made a full Chaos Demon. The Scoobies must find a way to stop them both and return home.

!! Tropes associated with ''Chaos Bleeds''

* BackFromTheDead: The First brings Kakistos and Adam as two of his champions. [[WildMassGuessing Perhaps the reason it couldn't use Glory was because she was a god.]]
** On the good guys' end Sid the Dummy had apparently passed on to the "proverbial better place" after killing the demons who'd cursed him, but he's back on Earth and still a wooden dummy in this game. It's revealed during the course of the story that this is The First's doing.

* BigBad: The First
* BitingTheHandHumor: When visiting Sunnydale's cinema there's a poster for ''Film/AlienResurrection'', a film written by Joss Whedon of which he hates (because the production team "did everything wrong that they could possibly do").

* EvenTheGuysWantHim: A lot of the vampires in the Highschool level say very suggestive things to Xander, especially the male vamps.

* GargleBlaster: Faith, being [[TheLadette Faith]], ponders whether hellfire vials come in six packs.

* JumpScare: Buffy's exploring a church basement when suddenly she is pounced by demon spiders. Thankfully they are less numerous than before and had gone through a healthy dose of [[BadassDecay Spikeification]].

* OurGargoylesRock: A couple of gargyoles are fought early on in the game. They're immune to all normal forms of damage, forcing Buffy to acquire some Gorgon venom in order to return them to their stone state.
* OurZombiesAreDifferent: The standard desiccated [[ZombieGait shamblers]] that act as cannon fodder and [[KillItWithFire go up like kindling if they're lit on fire]] are the most common variety, while zombie [[KillerGorilla gorillass]] and [[EverythingsBetterWithPenguins penguins]] are exclusive to the zoo level.

* HilarityInZoos: The zoo level.

* [[WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes Why'd it Have To Be Bunnies?]]: Even as an evil Vengeance Demon, Anyanka is still terrified of bunnies to the point that a Magician's Tophat that Xander can pull an endless supply of bunnies out of is integral to defeating her.
* [[YouKilledMyMother You Killed My Watcher]]: Faith's main reason for hating Kakistos.

* StandardStatusEffects: Some vampires have the thrall move of The Master and Drusilla, which acts as a stun move.

* FinalDeath: Both the characters and enemies have a health bar, but they do not die when it runs out. They die when they are bitten, staked, stabbed, beheaded, etc.

* AdaptationalWimp: On the show, Kakistos was able to shrug off a regular stake, and it took being impaled on a broken support beam to finish him off. Here, just about anything with a pointy bit will suffice.

-->'''Sid:''' "Eureka! What the hell does that mean, anyway?"
* AbandonedHospital: One of the levels takes place in one.
* AdaptationalWimp: On the show, Kakistos was able to shrug off a regular stake, and it took being impaled on a broken support beam to finish him off. Here, just about anything with a pointy bit will suffice.
* ADateWithRosiePalms: Finding items will yield several different comments from each character. Faith is kind enough to share what she does with stakes when not out slaying.

* CallBack: One of the first levels is in a graveyard, where Buffy is freaked upon learning of a spell that will resurrect her mother.
** An episode of the show had Willow and Tara trying to craft a Sun spell. In this game, it's one of the spells in Willow's repetoire.

* GuideDangIt: Have fun playing the game without a walkthrough.

* BossBanter: Every boss (except for [[TheVoiceless Adam]]) has a few lines of dialogue that they repeat [[MostAnnoyingSound ad nauseum]].

* RoleReprisal: Tom Wyner reprises his role of Sid the Dummy six years after his only appearance on the show.

* UnexpectedCharacter: The main playable cast features most of the Scooby gang plus fan favorites Spike and Faith... and Sid the Dummy, a one-shot character from way back in season one.

* BossArenaIdiocy: Kakistos elects to face Faith in a cave with pointy wooden spikes sticking out of the walls. You's think a vampire his age would know better.
